Chocolate and peanut butter is a combination that never grows old and it doesn't matter what season it is. Making cookies for the holidays can be a daunting task if you like to give away some holiday treats to your neighbors and family. Making up cookie trays is always a thoughtful gift to bring to all the holiday parties as well.
If you have enough stress in life before the holidays and cookies is the last thing on your mind, this recipe will be your new favorite! Made without baking even though it looks elegantly crafted! Made with only 5 ingredients and your choice of sweetener, this is a match made for the busy person during holiday hustle and bustle. No one will even be able to tell these are made without sugar.
I have made these more times than I can count and believe me when I tell you they are gone in minutes! Everyone loves them, I mean what's not to like right? Make sure to purchase unsweetened peanut butter or these will be too sweet once you add the Truvia or Swerve. Always remember to start with less then taste and adjust as needed. Also Swerve is much less sweet than Truvia so the same 1/4 cup will not taste them same using different sweeteners. You may need up to a 1/2 cup of Swerve for the same sweetness as Truvia.
What makes these look really fancy is the chocolate drizzle on top. The chocolate sauce takes not time at all to make. Once they set you can freeze them until you are ready to make up that cookie tray for a party. Layer between pieces of waxed paper and store in an airtight container in the freezer. Thaw the night before you plan to use them.
